Right? I think Lemmy is way more conducive to conversations than Reddit.
My country has daylight savings and I still went to school at night, so that point is kinda mute.
Welcome, there hasn't been a better time than now in a while.
Elom Musk has been pressuring Reddit's CEO to force mods to accept links to hia fascist platform.
So I can only see Reddit become worse as the years go on.
I think you're also in a bubble though.
Which is why I'm talking about people who aren't terminally online degenerates like us.
People who are largely apolitical, like my friends and family, none of them support Russia.
I even went to a few protests in front of the Russian embassy. Would you be surprised to know that there were exactly zero protests in Russia's defense in my country?
I respectfully disagree. Cultural backgrounds also play a role and Russia and China have never known democracy.
Fascism in practice (not as a demented dream) is a harder sell in the West although we're not immune to it and we should 100℅ remain vigilant and fight its grown at all costs.
Water is, unironically, my favourite drink on this earth.
Yeah office jobs in my country are basically all posted there, especially if you want to work for an international company.
But then how could they make ungodly amounts of money while looking down on the peasantry?
searxng which is a decentralized search engine similar to the fediverse, it lets you customize search providers and i have it set to show ddg, presearch, qwant, and startpage
How do you set it up like so? I couldn't find such settings.
Anyways, Consider whether using that is the best thing we can be doing for the EU... Using anonymous search engines instead of a local one that will at least profit some and pay taxes here.
Probably nothing would happen to you. They might correlate your IP address and ban you, but that's likely it.
I mean, that's probably the worst thing that can happen to your email, lol. Consider how much your online life depends on access to your email.
I kinda get it for people who want to compartmentalise their email.
I personally have 1 email I only use for banks and other important logins, and then a second one that is a bit more general use.
Do you think people are buying it, though?
I've never seen so much cynicism against all things controlled media as I see today.
They control the final product, so the answer is yes
Were you using it with their custom OS, or did you try to install something else like Linux Mint?
bought with my own money and has crackling audio due to hardware not software issues. Works fine through an audio interface but the speakers sound like ass.
If its any consolidation my HP Envy, which is a normal consumer laptop that comes with windows, had that same crackling noise if I hold it at a weird angle.
I should have sent it back as well, but frankly that's just the state of the market RN. Companies don't give a f, even large ones.
I understand we are sliding in that direction. My point is, once there, its harder to keep that regime alive.
How many people are okay with what Israel is doing? Or Russia? Or (now) the US? Despite the propaganda and censoring all over the internet, not many. Most people aren't buying it.
Ah, the threatened oligarchy is at it again. I'm sure its purely a coincidence and not at all a retaliation for people abandoning big tech en masse.
to say otherwise is either ignorance, stupidity, or malice
Why not all three?
This is basically it. It is just harder to run a fascist oligarchy these days. People are way too connected and are sympathetic to other people from other countries. The propaganda can only go so far.
I understand that, my point is the size of the salary has nothing to do with your capacity to protest, otherwise we wouldn't be able to do it over here.
I can assure you we are not leaving our jobs just to protest, and also a majority of people love paycheck to paycheck. You need to find the time and organize.
